House Under the Trees / Doro

Hidden in a nook in the farmlands of the village of Jaspur, in Baroda, these Earthen walls stand humbly among a cluster of Neem trees, cutting across undulated ravines carved into the land by storm waters, through the ages. Nestled under the densest patch of trees, the building is shaded by vast canopies, as the landscape meanders along with the natural lay of the land. The home is envisioned for two, engaging in farming, as a respite from the regular and their occasional leisurely gatherings in the green outdoors. A curvilinear wooden deck leads into the house through the dining space, from the higher flat land, cantilevering over the canyon on the other side.
